The Crazy Programmer

FEBRUARY 23, 2023

1. It’s Freedom of Creativity Many people think you need A’s in math to program. That’s a misconception. Programming is more about logic and creativity. For example, you and your friends jokingly come up with an excellent smartphone game. You can wait for some company over the ocean to release it or make it yourself. You decide how this game will work and what the rules, interface, and functions will be.

There’s a pretty decent chance you’ve heard of a little company called Uber. It was a Crunchies finalist back in 2011 (for Best Location Application, alongside Runkeeper, Foursquare, Airbnb and Grindr), and it’s been doing rather well ever since. As I am writing this, Uber has a $69 billion market cap ( nice ) and it’s a global superstar startup.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

As a software professional handling Infrastructure as Code (IaC), chances are you work a lot with Terraform. When helping new clients use IaC, it is common to simplify things, but managing a Terraform state file is the first challenge you face. Essentially, Terraform state contains sensitive information, which shouldn’t be stored by source control but, at the same time, won’t scale if you have multiple users working on the same Terraform state.
